Hardwick & Salters Lane

Norma & Nigel working hard for you in Hardwick and Salters Lane

Dear Resident

We are delighted to have been selected as your Labour candidates for Hardwick and Salters Lane in May’s Council elections, and we hope that you will vote for us so that we can continue to represent your interests on the Council.

These are difficult days for our community. Due to Tory cuts, we are seeing our Council forced to make cuts to its services; and our region unfairly hit by austerity.

That’s why we need a strong Labour Council dedicated to maintaining the best possible services and putting forward a positive vision and agenda for the entire Stockton-on-Tees Borough; that puts the well-being of our children and older people first; and defends you against Tory cuts.

Since our election in 2011 we have constantly stood up for local people and communities, and have been visible and accessible—providing regular updates, holding monthly surgeries, attending Residents’ meetings , and being available on phone, email or social media 365 days a year.

Our Pledges

Work with the Council and others to ensure social and private tenants receive a good service from their landlords;

Campaign for more resources to tackle anti-social behaviour;

Maintain weekly bin collections;

Oppose Government cuts to essential services;

Continue to be strong advocates for Hardwick and Salters Lane and its residents

Nigel Cooke

I’ve had the privilege of representing you as a ward councillor since 2011. I work for the local NHS as a clinical skills trainer and I’m married with a grown-up daughter.

During my time as your councillor, working in partnership with Norma Stephenson I’ve continually shouted up for the communities of Hardwick & Salters Lane to ensure that this community gets the resources and services it is entitled to.

If re-elected I will continue to be accessible 7 days a week, hold surgeries and make home visits on request.
